Jaya Bella had to be stepped up to a longer trip at Fontwell to get off the mark over hurdles. She should be thereabouts again here, but fellow handicap debutant MILLY MALONE is just preferred. The latter went close when runner-up over 2m at Towcester three weeks ago and may well have won if not for hitting the last obstacle. Racey Lacey finished second in a juvenile event here in March and is another to consider with a recent pipe-opener under her belt, while Posh Emily could prove best of the rest after an improved effort at Wincanton a week ago.
